Duke, Please Repent! chapter 60

15. The Duchess' Suspicious Assistant (3)

Get rid of the dark district anyway] Well, they'll end up repeating the same actions in different places with different names. That's what their history tells us.

Eugene smiled bitterly.

So, even in a lawless zone, we need an absolute existence that can become a law that must be obeyed. Also, if that being has a just mind, there will be no innocent victims.

"Is that right?"

It was a shock. It's been solved so easily... Are you saying this is a necessary evil...

It just looked like that.

She freed her, who was almost sold at auction because she was treated like an item, but no one stopped her.

Rather, did you not see him bowing his head in tension?

'Besides, I got their information easily.

Maybe Serpence will go inside the dark district.

What if you hadn't taken control?

If they had tried to catch them using only the external position, it would have been quite difficult just to find a branch in the empire, let alone their head office.

"I thought that if I could help from outside, things would be much easier .

Couldn't there be even a law of conservation of corruption in this world? If it wasn't, the protagonist and his party, who had only been fine, couldn't become like this.

Rain on Humanus in [Master of the Holy Sword]

Among his colleagues, including Lot, 'no one spoke of such a necessary evil.

The end goal is not to manage the lawless zone as Yulydia-sama thought. It's just to save those who can be saved in the process.

" isn't it?"

Of course! It's not good for emotional education, and I just want to throw it all away.

"Me, emotional education?"

Was it a choice of words that did not fit the situation?

Eugene asked again with a bewildered tone, but Serpens couldn't explain it to him, so he just ignored it.

Occupying the Dark House is a process to the end.

"What is that for?"

That's of course...

I deliberately stopped talking in the middle and took a sip of tea as if I was thirsty.

The purpose was to heighten her tension, but she also needed some time to organize her speech.

'The purpose of Serpence is to set traps to attract demon worshipers.'

It wouldn't be a big deal if Eugenes was left in a misunderstood state like this, but if their destinations diverge, the ship might go to the mountains.

'More than anything else, if you're struggling to rescue Serpens from the swamp of corruption, and Eugesse is diving at full speed next to him, what does that mean!'

Still, I thought for a moment that it would be better to deal with Eugenes rather than Serpence, but I quickly shook it off.

Minimize the sacrifice of the continent by the devil

It's for reconciliation.

...Yes?!

According to my reasoning... The first place where the devil will be summoned will be the dark district.

"Why do you come to such a conclusion?"

It just came out of the book.

After completing all the trials of the god Luxmea, Humanus defeated Serpens, who was considered to be the master of the holy sword.

In this way, Humanus proved his qualifications as the master of the holy sword.

'If the previous content was about growth and travel in a bright atmosphere, the words of dog trouble after that were not enough.'

If Serpence was the turning point, the devil in the dark district is a sign that guides you there.

But of course you can't do this.

How many times would I tell Eugenes that I have already seen the story that I had put off even to Serpence?

Yeah, because this is the Holy Empire. When dealing with demon worshipers, it should be the focal point to gather the power of the continent.

"But wouldn't it be impossible to summon a demon strong enough to face the Empire from the start?"

No, the power of the devil doesn't matter. Just weaving a dark place is half the success.

Euges shook his head as if he still didn't know.

it would be Because I'm just stating the conclusion that came out, pretending to be a guess.

"Actually, there are a lot of nobles who use the dark district. Those who do not know do not know, but those who do know all know.

Joe.

I didn't know about those details.

Because you're an outsider. That's why the Duke is secretly investigating it as a protest, but put this aside for now.

Hearing that it was under investigation, Eugesu flinched and made an expression of concern.

But instead of interrupting my words, he listened and seemed to remember them in the back of his head.

If you're a demon worshiper, you can't help but use it. Hopefully, it will be able to shake and torn apart the Empire from within.

It's an opportunity. Even if it fails, a significant number of nobles will become 'associated with a dark house where demons are summoned. As an added bonus, I might even leave the manipulation papers and tie them up to a decent noble family.

"Oh, is that so?!"

That's right. As the Empire, we have no choice but to weed them out, and if that happens, the Empire will falter. There will be a lot of territories without owners, so there will be a fight for this title.

And if you hit it... . Oh my gosh, empires are so easy... ?

Seeing the astonished Yujis

He pretended to be relaxed and took another sip of tea.

'The only thing that grows more and more is acting and wit... . I'm not lying though.'

Still, I was nervous and my heart kept pounding. How did Serpence make such an anxious thing a daily life for nearly 20 years?

Necessary evil is a horn. If it is an evil that can be eliminated, it is natural to get rid of it. Do you repent, Wilydia-sama?

Uh, shhhhhhh...!

Eugenes became depressed and shook his head.

He bowed down and his ears drooped.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head. At the same time, the ear that went down also went up again.

Wait a minute. Then why are you taking over and maintaining the Dark Street. You didn't explain why.

It's simple. If there isn't a dark place, they will use their numbers in other places and in other ways. If the devil is summoned somewhere else, doesn't it harm ordinary people? It's a kind of bait. After the devil is summoned, we become the masters of the holy sword' All you have to do is inform the

We'll have to take the time to fight and get rid of the evidence that could be problematic.

"And then?"

That's... Well, that's right. It's undecided whether we should take it out and make it pay for the crime, or if we should completely destroy the evidence.

Even so, I talked as much as I could, but the future treatment of the dark house was not for me to decide.

Sir Rivelon seems to love baits.

Not me, but Serpens

it seems

Before that, the 'Duke 1d' you mentioned earlier was referring to the Duke Prasidus, who is being served by Lord Ribelon, right?

Yes, it is.

From what I hear you say, it seems that he is unaware of this plan.

I guess...

I'm glad you understood that. It seems that the subtle nuances of such a nuance worked well.

Last time while Lord Rivelon was the bait, I spoke to him briefly, and he's quite trusted.

It seemed.

Of course it is.

how hard i tried! The only person he trusts right now is me.

When he answered triumphantly filled with pride, Eugese nodded his head with a serious face.

That's right. Of course, that's how we can hide information about the dark side, and let us know naturally when the devil appears...

No matter how interpretive it is than a dream, Yuji 入 1一1 一 Nh... 1一 口

'Isn't it closer to creation than interpretation?'

What kind of world was unfolding in her head, she was a little scared.

Wouldn't it be much more stable if the plan, Prince Prasidus-sama, was also involved?

Yes?!

They sleep together, and that's just the plan he's leading. Eugenes doesn't know about that.

Even so, I didn't know that he would even try to insert Serpence.

Have you not heard of the rumor that the Duke does not compromise with evil yet? It's a famous story in the Empire...

I'd almost say it's a setting.

Anyway, that's not okay. If I just stabbed it, the plan itself might go awry.

"Then there is nothing I can do about it."

Did you roughly fix it with this?

Judging from what he said, there seems to be no doubt about Serpens.

In addition, Eugenes will not suddenly appear as an evil organization while shouting a necessary evil.

"Since when did Lord Ribelon come up with this plan?"

Yes?

"The work for the Dark House, as well as becoming an aide to the one who will become the master of the Holy Sword is also a part of that plan, isn't it?"

That's right... isn't it?

Are you a member of a secret society by any chance?

There is no such thing.

Oh, I'm sorry. Is it a secret?

When I stood still, I saw something like an Illuminati.

I don't know anymore either. It's a feeling of wanting to be.

"Then what can I do and how can I help?"

Let's go back to our hometown first. So, after the master of the Holy Sword completes the final ordeal of the gods prepared in the Kingdom of Arche, if you lead me to the dark side...

"Yes? Why?"

I secretly tried to return it, but there was no jaw.

Wasn't the master of the holy sword the duke you serve? I wonder if I need to wait in the Arche Kingdom soon...

Surprisingly, the first prerequisite was wrong, so it was necessary.

How can the existence of all continents be so certain that Serpens will become the masters of the Holy Sword... .

'Is it because the serpens are so perfect?'

From the outside, it seems that he has strong force, beautiful appearance, and even an angelic heart, so he could be mistaken for a hero of the continent that God himself had given him.

Anyway, the dark streets are in the Empire, so even if you do not know the exact location, you will come to the Empire first.

Ah! That's right?!

Humanus isn't even a child who can't come home, so I don't know why I didn't think of that.

"Did you really mean something you didn't know?"

Ha ha ha ha ha !"

You miss the basics of the basics on a topic where you were just pretending to be smart and arguing with hypotheses.

As if there was no absurdity, Euges exhaled a short breath, 'Huh-.'

Aside from that, what I can think of right now is... Oh, can I say something like this?

Yes? What ?

As I was contemplating whether or not to speak with only luck, Eugenes put on a nervous expression at the same time.

"Among those who were sold as slaves in the Kingdom of Palo, were there any knights?"

Once I spit it out, I'll leave the follow-up to Eugene's misunderstanding.
